Basketball Players Killed in Accident

I found the article i read to be very sad. Three young wheelchaired basketball players died when the bus they were traveling on collided with a truck. I was confused however on why the report was done here in America. It did not say if the players were American or not, but they were deffinately of importance. The article was detailed and followed the "list" very well. I did notice however that the funeral arrangements were not in the article, but it did mention the names of those who died, outside the bus. Tragic things like this happen all over the world everyday. I think its very important that although this happened in Africa that it is posted for everyone to see.
